Navigon. It is pricey, but worth it. It beats CoPilot and TomTom hands down.

dammit!! i wish i would have known about that before i bought my POS portable GPS

yeah I have a two year old garmin and I love Navigon on my phone, but the Garmin still has a place on my dash for some trips. If it is a long trip or a complicated trip, it is too much of a pain the butt to keep the Navigon app running while I'm listening to podcasts, calling people, and checking mail.
So don't give up on the standalone GPS yet.

The iPhone app is awesome for quick trips or when I fly to other cities.

Great point, hence not wanting to pay 90 bucks for a passive navigating app. I'm stuck considering the same option.

No, you don't. The application continues to function, but you lose the 3D map view and voice prompts. You only need to pay an additional $2.99 when you need those features. For me, that's probably only once or twice per year.

oooo wonderful, i think im going to use this one for now

Q: So without the 3d Map view and voice prompts, the nav is useless, correct?
